Background of the Study
Consumer decision-making is a complex process influenced by various factors, including advertising. In the cosmetics industry, advertising plays a pivotal role in shaping consumer preferences, perceptions, and purchase decisions. In Offa Local Government Area (LGA) in Kwara State, the cosmetics market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing urbanization, changing beauty standards, and the proliferation of advertising across traditional and digital media platforms.
Advertising appeals such as celebrity endorsements, emotional messaging, and promotions have been found to significantly influence consumer behavior. According to Adeyemi and Okonkwo (2023), advertisements that highlight product benefits, social proof, and aspirational lifestyles are more likely to drive consumer engagement and purchases. This study explores the impact of advertising on consumer decision-making for cosmetics in Offa LGA, focusing on how various advertising strategies shape consumer choices.
